They'll call it chance, or luck, or call it Fate

So, I found a subtitled version of the Gundam 00 movie online the other day. I was pretty excited and settled in to watch it last night. Here's my thoughts (that I was too tired to type up when I finished watching the movie). They're in bullet points and some sort of relative order.

( Spoileriffic )

In conclusion, was the movie everything I hoped it would be? No. Was it worth watching? Probably.

Today was a fun time. I spent the day with meepalicious and serria .

First, we hit up Ikebukuro. We had lunch at Denny's and then headed for Otome Road. serria had never been there, so meepalicious and I felt that it was our duty as fellow fangirls to take her there. I may have bought a couple more doujinshi at the Mandarake. ^_^; I also bought a Gundam 00 teacup with chibi Lockon and Setsuna on it. It's super cute. Leslie has the corresponding Tieria and Allelujah cup. We got them in celebration of our usual Tea & Gundam.

We then made our way to the Square Enix store in Shinjuku. The store was a little hard to find because we accidentally went in the opposite direction of the way we were supposed to go. We did find the store though. The best part of the store was the nearly naked statue of Sephiroth in the floor! He was so realistic looking. It was awesome. The store had some really cool merchandise that I wish I could have bought, but I didn't get anything because I'm not exactly sure about my budget right now. I would've loved to have gotten the Shin-ra pin, or the charm of Axel's chakrams though. There was some cool Kingdom Hearts clothing, but the prices for it were ridiculous, like $140 for a cap and $98 for a scarf. I love you Squeenix, but I don't love you enough to spend that much money on your clothing.

After that, we stopped at Hamamatsucho to go to the Pokemon Center. I bought an Umbreon plushie there because they had a bunch of new Eevee merchandise. I also got my godson, Hayden, some little Pokemon figures as a Christmas present. Then, it was time to go home. We had originally planned to go to the Tokyo Tower as well, but it was getting a little late and we still had homework to finish.

I'm going to go study a little more for the Japanese quiz tomorrow, then go to bed. I want to be well rested because tomorrow, after class, I've got an 8 page paper to write about yaoi. Wish me luck.

Just a quick entry to say that I'll be in Nikko tomorrow and Sunday. It should hopefully be a fun time!

I also wanted to let everyone know that (thanks to meepalicious 's influence) I now have a Tumblr. If any of you have one, you can choose to follow me at http://rinlin.tumblr.com/. I have also started Fuck Yeah Gundam 00 on Tumblr, in order to share my extensive Gundam 00 fanart collection. XD

I watched the Gundam finale tonight.

Now we must wait and see what the 00 movie will have in store for us in 2010~.

And coming next weekend: New FMA episodes! I can't wait~.

( Spoilers )

yangwarrior went home this weekend, and I went with her. It was a nice, relaxing weekend. We did practically nothing.

The only thing I accomplished this weekend was beating The World Ends With You. It was a very good game, and I really enjoyed playing it. And now I have a new fandom to explore! I totally ship Joshua/Neku.

immelmanturn, Allison, and Alyssa came by last night. immelmanturn and I practiced our dialogue for our Japanese oral midterm (about Elvis being borrowed by aliens), while we watched the Oscars. It was fun. I was glad to see that Heath got his well deserved Oscar, and to see that Slumdog Millionare took Best Picture. It was the only one of the Oscar nominees that I'd seen, but it was a very good movie. I think immelmanturn and I managed to do a decent job on our dialogue today, as well.

But, now there is tomorrow morning's written Japanese midterm to study for. :P

(I know I'm late to the party, but I wanted to wait for Menclave to release their subs of the episode, which they finally did today.)

( Cut for spoilers! )

I just watched the new Gundam episode! I decided to wait until the subs came out. It was awesome! I enjoyed seeing grown-up Setsuna. And Regene. And Lyle! I'm glad my Gundam is back. S2 looks like it's going to be awesome! <3

Tonight I must study for the first Japanese test of the year. Eeek.

I have decided on this year's cosplay plans. They were up in the air for a little while; I was thinking of going as either Kanda (from D.Gray-man), or Alie and I were thinking of going as Axel and Roxas (from Kingdom Hearts). It has been decided that I'm going to be Axel, which I am quite pleased about. And Alie is going to be Roxas. Now we just need to commission our costumes, because there's no way in hell I'm trying to sew a pleather Orgy XIII coat. There has also been talk of going to Ohayocon this year, because ACen falls on a rather inconvenient date.

The other night I had a dream that I was out shopping because I needed purple nail polish for my Tieria costume. But, I was unhappy because the only purple nail polish I could find had sparkles in it, and I wanted the nail polish with no sparkles. When I woke up I laughed a lot. I can guarantee that I will not be wearing purple nail polish, if I cosplay Tieria again. Not unless it's fishnets!Tieria.

So, basically, ACen was fantastic! (I'm going to be posting this in two parts because of the large amount of images.)

Do not want to wait for 6 months to find out what happens next! Fuck. I knew this would happen.
